Founded in 2009, Give A Grad A Go has placed over 2,500 graduates into roles in the UK. Based in Shoreditch, employees can benefit from strolls along the canal or taking advantage of the local bars and restaurants. They're a friendly bunch with monthly socials out to the Comedy Store, Swingers Golf, Flight Club (darts) and more. Yoga classes, running club and 5-aside football are at employee disposal too. Regular training and development will ensure career paths are on track for success.

Who we work with...

Give A Grad A Go streamline and enhance early-career recruitment processes for businesses of all shapes and sizes. We work with companies ranging from PE & VC backed start-ups in their earliest stages to global corporations.
An impressive 85% of our placements from 2017 came from repeat business – we position ourselves as trusted advisers and become fully embedded into our client's talent processes.
Our client list includes Technology giants, household Fashion labels, a large number of the Virgin fast track top 100 & Fintech top 50, global Advertising agencies & many other rapidly growing start-ups. So far we've placed just over 2,500 candidates within 400 businesses across the UK (and 1 in Germany).
What sets us apart is the speed with which we can work. Our average time to fill is just 17 days, against the industry average of 29 days, and our probation pass rate is 94%. So clients keep coming back as they know they'll get a very speedy and very accurate service.

History

Give A Grad A Go are the UK's graduate jobs & recruitment experts. Our journey started back in 2009 where we quickly made a name for ourselves by creating safer and more user-friendly ways for companies to hire recent graduates.
We’re now a multi award-winning agency and have seen over 2,500 graduates find their ideal job through us.

Incentives & Benefits

Our commission structure is based on a quarterly target for Account Managers. (It’s an annual target once you make it up to Key Account Manager).
As an Account Manager you’ll earn 10% commission from the revenue you generate, with performance accelerators in place if you over achieve (we offer long haul flights, dinners out & holiday contributions).
As an Account Manger you should be aiming to generate between £20,000 - £50,000 per quarter. And your basic salary is increased as you hit revenue-based milestones.
Your clients base is built up for you and we receive anything up to 15,000 candidate CVs each month. So we set you up with everything you need in order to place as many people as possible.
Once your workload builds up you'll also get the help of a Resourcer to help you manage your Projects.

Our team

Our team is our business. We're all hugely passionate about what we do, we love the idea that we get to have a big impact on people's careers and we get to work with some great candidates and some amazing clients.
The team currently consists of 4 departments. Operations, Marketing, Resourcing & Consultanting.
We still have a start-up vibe to our way of working. The office has a lively buzz to it so we wouldn't be the right fit for someone who likes a more formal or corporate office environment. But we are the right fit for people who want to be really successful, can work logically and quickly and who like being part of a very successful team.
We're still of a size where everyone's individual performance has a big impact on the business and everyone here really likes the fact that they can see their hard work contributing to the success of the business.
